waste-in-place must submit a Waste-in-Place Report to the Executive Officer
pursuant to section
95470(b)(4),
within 90 days of the effective date of this subarticle.
(1) The Waste-in-Place report must be
prepared for the period of January 1 through December 31 of each year. The
report must be submitted to the Executive Officer by March 15 of the following
year.
(2) The Waste-in-Place report
must be submitted annually until either:
(A)
The MSW landfill reaches a size greater than or equal to 450,000 tons of
waste-in-place; or
(B) The owner or
operator submits a Closure Notification pursuant to section
95470(b)(1).
(b)
MSW Landfills Greater Than or
Equal to 450,000 Tons of Waste-in-Place: Within 90 days of the
effective date of this subarticle or upon reaching 450,000 tons of
waste-in-place, each owner or operator of an MSW landfill having greater than
or equal to 450,000 tons of waste-in-place must calculate the landfill gas heat
input capacity pursuant to section
95471(b) and must
submit a Landfill Gas Heat Input Capacity Report to the Executive Officer.
(1) If the calculated landfill gas heat input
capacity is less than 3.0 million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/hr)
recovered, the owner or operator must:
(A)
Recalculate the landfill gas heat input capacity annually using the procedures
specified in section

volume (ppmv) or greater using the instantaneous surface monitoring procedures
specified in sections
95471(c)(1) and
95471(c)(2).
Based on the monitoring results, the owner or operator must do one of the
following:

95476;
2. If there is no measured concentration of
methane of 200 ppmv or greater from the surface of an active MSW landfill,
comply with section

recalculate the landfill gas heat input capacity annually as required in
section 95463(b) until
such time the owner or operator submits a Closure Notification pursuant to
section 95470(b)(1);
or
3. If there is no measured
concentration of methane of 200 ppmv or greater from the surface of a closed or
inactive MSW landfill, the requirements of sections
95464 through
95470 no longer apply provided
that the following information is submitted to and approved by the Executive
Officer within 90 days:
